Ryan Fitzpatrick made a good initial impression with Tampa Bay, completing his first series with a 6-yard touchdown run, before the Cincinnati Bengals pulled away to a 23-12 victory over the Buccaneers on Friday night.

The women's A-Sun regular season championship came down to one game and FGCU couldn't deliver at home against Stetson.

The Hatters (24-5, 13-1) avenged their lone Atlantic Sun loss of the season, thwarting the Eagles (23-8, 12-2) 67-64 in overtime. The win broke a streak of six-consecutive regular season titles for the Florida Gulf Coast women.

Erica Nelson led the way for FGCU with 17 points. Senior Jordin Alexander, who was honored prior to the game on senior night, chipped in with 15. Tytionia Adderly pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds and added 11 points in the loss.

The game was a back-and-forth affair from the opening tip. Neither team led by more than seven points throughout the 45 minutes of play.

Alexander gave FGCU a 54-53 lead with 45 seconds left, but Stetson's Brittney Chambers was fouled and split a pair of free throws to tie the game at 54.

The Eagles had a chance to win it in regulation with two-tenths of a second to play, but Rose Julien's tip attempt was off the mark.

In overtime, Chambers put the Hatters ahead to stay at the 1:14 mark with a long 20-footer as the shot clock expired. Those were her final points of the game, finishing with a game-high 18 points to lead all scorers. FGCU had a chance to tie, only down three with 13 seconds left, but China Dow turned it over by stepping on the baseline on an inbounds play. That effectively ended whatever comeback attempt the Eagles tried to muster.

Florida Gulf Coast is now the two-seed in the upcoming Atlantic Sun tournament. The Eagles will host the quarterfinals on Monday, March 3rd at 7pm in Alico Arena.
